Suppose you complete a chi-square test to see whether there is a difference in the proportion of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents that favor a new law and get a p-value of 0.01. You then complete follow-up tests using 95% confidence intervals with the following results: 

Republicans – Democrats: (–0.8386, –0.5614) 

Republicans – Independents: (–0.7568, –0.4432) 

Democrats – Independents: (–0.0386, 0.2386) 

Choose from SIGNIFICANTLY MORE, SIGNIFICANTLY LESS, and NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT to fill in the sentences that interpret the results in the confidence intervals. 

a. The proportion of Republicans that favor the new law was ___________ than the proportion of Democrats that favor the new law. 

b. The proportion of Republicans that favor the new law was ___________ than the proportion of Independents that favor the new law. 

c. The proportion of Democrats that favor the new law was ___________ than the proportion of Independents that favor the new law.
